Once you make the meatballs (I used the “Beef Meatballs” recipe in the BEEF section – note that you can also use the raw ones with the meats in the grocery store), this is an extremely easy recipe. I wanted the gravy a bit thicker than it turned out, so I used a bit more Bisto (Bisto is a British gravy mix – if you can’t find a cannister and don’t want to order one, you can use a little of the McCormick brown gravy mix). I cut my onions into half-moons. And I didn’t use any salt because I thought the ingredients had enough – and I was right. This should be served with mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
500g of meatballs, you can buy pre rolled or make your own
2 onions cut into rings
2-3 T. tomato paste
2 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 T. Dijon mustard
1 t. oregano
1 t. onion granules
3 crushed garlic cloves
Salt and pepper
400ml of beef stock
2 T. Bistro gravy powder with 50ml water
Recipe
Brown the meatballs for a few minutes in a skillet. Place in the slow cooker. Fry the onions in the same skillet until soft and slightly browned. Place on top of the meatballs.
Mix the remaining ingredients and pour into slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 7-8 [I did a bit of a hybrid – 3 on HIGH and 2 on LOW.]
